Back in 2009, I wrote about these set of images I captured that weren’t planned (they usually never are), very early one morning. The boys (Dockers, Nikita and Cody) had just spent the evening sleeping on their new big, warm, and fluffy cushions. The images captured of Nikita that morning were priceless and remain some of my most favorite. Because it was dark in the room and his light colors, the lighting off his face was just lovely. He was always so easy to photograph. Always looked at me when I was right there in his face with an annoying camera. So attentive.
My boy is so missed.
I met our beautiful Niki the day he was born when he was only hours old. He blessed us by entering our lives the day before our wedding anniversary. Since we usually went out for anniversary dinners, we were always sure to bring him back a treat or two from the celebratory meal the day after his birthday.
Today is his birthday. We celebrate his life, the love that he emanated, and the bright light that he still brightly shines from the beauty that he was.
